Home Distiller

Just started off my first FFV ferment thanks teddy for the recipe, I got a little lazy with my measurements and wound up dumping an entire 5kg bag of sugar in as opposed to 4kg for a OG of 1080 so we shall see how it goes but I wouldn't expect it to be too much of an issue overall.

That's only a few hours in and already off to a flying start

congrats! HOpe it turns out well for you.

Good luck , but don’t expect it to be a fast ferment . That last kg of sugar takes a while , you just added another .
Part of why this recipe makes a clean vodka is because it only has 4kg ( same as Shadys suger shine ) . That extra kg of sugar will make extra stress on yeast and they will create byproducts that aren’t desired .

If you are just going to put it through a good reflux still , probably will turn out just fine . If you were going to pot still it , you could split it into two fermenters and add the required water to lower the sg

My still so far seems to be stripping pretty clean, but yeah that was my expectation, having come from a brewing background I got what I expected, it took a week to stabilize at 990
